As long as there is one in everything, there will be two, and in succession there will be three. This is what most people take for granted. After five years on the throne, the emperor who had never canonized a concubine finally did so. What does that mean? It means that those women who want to enter the harem are beginning to have hope. In order to realize their wishes, today's banquet is their greatest hope and opportunity.
After Xiao Yufu's episode, ladies from the official family began to take the initiative to perform dancing and other moving performances, in order to attract the emperor's attention.
Bai Xi secretly sighed. Sure enough, the banquet was boring and it was difficult to get excited. Just as she was still sighing, she suddenly caught sight of the figure leaving the party and let out a slight smile. She finally caught the opportunity, and then he saw her quietly leaving the scene and followed him.
Although the sky had ended, it was not necessarily dark outside the palace. But even so, she still lost track of the figure. Has her tracking technology deteriorated? Bai Xi raised his eyes and looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and the information about that person that Feng had found suddenly came to mind.
Nangong Hui, King of Xiangyang of Qilin Kingdom Nangong is the son of (shi), no, to be precise, he should be an adopted son. Even so, he is also the successor of the next King of Xiangyang. It is said that this man is the most popular among all the women of Qilin Kingdom. I want to marry a good person, not only because his beauty is not inferior to Feng Ming, but also because he is both civil and military, has won the complete trust of Emperor Qilin and King Xiangyang, and his status in the court cannot be underestimated, even Known as Huetian, he is another powerful figure besides Icedian.
According to Feng's further investigation, the reason why Nangong Hui gained the trust of Emperor Qilin was because the two were actually father-son relationship. Because Emperor Qilin and King Xiangyang were deeply affectionate brothers, the former adopted his prince to the childless prince. King of Xiangyang. But this is just hearsay and there is no actual evidence to prove it.
But whether it was true or not, Nangong's true life experience had little to do with her. She only knew one thing, that this person was related to Nangong.
"Are you looking for me?" These light but emotionless words suddenly sounded behind Bai Xi.
"Yes." Bai Xi did not deny it. Her black eyes were locked on Nangong Hui, who was only three steps away from her. She was really shocked just now. This man could suddenly appear without any breath. If not His skill is too strong, but she is too weak. No matter which one it is, it's not a good thing for her.
"Is something wrong?" Nangong Hui was not surprised by Bai Xi's frank admission. He stood still on the ground and stared at Bai Xi coldly.
"fine."
Nangong Hui said nothing and turned around to leave.
"Prince Hui, I heard that King Xiangyang's health has always been poor. I wonder if King Xiangyang's health has been better recently?" Bai Xi asked aloud.
"Very good." Nangong Hui replied without looking back. He didn't ask why Bai Xi suddenly asked such a question, and just answered directly.
Bai Xi stopped talking, while Nangong Hui left steadily, seemingly not caring about what he said just now, but there was one thing that reached a consensus in the hearts of the two of them.
Bai Xi did not leave immediately and return to the main hall. Instead, she came to the nearest railing and sat on it. She looked at the crescent moon in the sky and chuckled. She did not follow in vain. In this case, it seems that in this Qilin Kingdom, she must You have to go. As for Nangong, he gave her such a big gift before, so she should at least come and return the gift in person.
You should be polite and return the favor, isn't it? What's more, it's such a big gift.
I don't know how long it took, but Feng Shuangshuang suddenly appeared with a choked voice, "Sister Xi." Not only were her clear eyes a little red, but there were tears on her face. It seemed that she had just cried.
"Shuang'er, do you blame me?" Seeing Feng Shuangshuang's appearance, Bai Xi couldn't help but feel a little distressed. In this girl's heart, the reason why Ye Muli agreed to make Xiao Yufu his concubine was probably because of her prompting.
Also, in her memory, Shuang'er was a cheerful and smiling little girl, but now... She didn't know whether Ye Muli had feelings for Shuang'er between men and women, but Shuang'er did have feelings in her heart. As for Ye Muli, Mu Li, she couldn't figure out what he was thinking at all, let alone whether his rejection of Nan Xinjiang's marriage proposal was genuine or...
Feng Shuangshuang shook her head, saying that she didn't blame anyone, then sat next to Bai Xi and asked softly, "Sister Xi, am I too naive?"
Bai Xi remained silent and never moved his gaze away from the crescent moon.
"I think I might be too naive to believe that Brother Li has liked me all these years." Feng Shuangshuang smiled bitterly. Although there were no tears in her eyes, the sadness inside was obvious. "No wonder dad has always been reluctant to allow me to contact Brother Li. It turns out that dad has known for a long time that Brother Li doesn't like me at all, and it's even less possible for me and him to be together."
Bai Xi moved her eyes to look at Feng Shuangshuang beside her. She suddenly remembered how some people reacted when this girl mentioned Ye Muli when she was at Feng's house. I'm afraid it was not just Mr. Feng who was opposed to this matter.
"Sister Xi, I really envy you for being liked by Brother Ming."
Bai Xi smiled slightly and gently rubbed Feng Shuangshuang's head, "Do you really like him?"
Feng Shuangshuang nodded without hesitation.
"Since you like it, then go for it." She wouldn't talk about giving up or trying to achieve something. For her, as long as she worked hard, even if she failed, she would have no regrets.
Feng Shuangshuang opened her eyes wide and looked at Bai Xi motionlessly.
"You just go and ask him if he likes you?" She might be able to guess what Mr. Feng Er and the others were thinking, and Shuang'er's temperament is indeed impossible to survive in the harem, but if Lang has a crush on his concubine, then This matter should be discussed separately.
"What if he doesn't like me?" Feng Shuangshuang asked cautiously.
"Then you should give up completely." If this is the case, Mr. Feng Er should also feel at ease. I am afraid that this possibility will be relatively small, at least in her eyes. Although it was difficult to guess what Ye Muli was thinking, he was different today than before. She had already noticed it from the moment he walked into the banquet venue.
Feng Shuangshuang thought about it repeatedly in her heart, and finally nodded. Sister Xi was right. Instead of letting her guess, it was better to ask directly.
"Sister Xi, thank you." At this moment, Feng Shuangshuang put an innocent smile on her face again.
Bai Xi smiled slightly and did not say too much. The two of them did not stay any longer, but returned to the main hall. At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was still joyful, and the ladies continued to compete for beauty. , the ministers continued to drink and have fun, exactly the same as before she left.
As for the crescent-white figure, it seemed a little out of place. No, it was more lonely than out of place. There were many eyes on him, but no one dared to come forward to toast or talk to him.
The golden eyes moved and met Bai Xi's gaze. The two looked at each other like this for a while. The former looked away first, and the latter smiled slightly. This guy became angry.
"Sister Xi." Feng Shuangshuang looked at the direction Bai Xi was moving and said in surprise. Could it be that Sister Xi could understand her thoughts before, or was it that Sister Xi, like her, felt that Brother Ming was too lonely sitting there alone
As if Bai Xi didn't hear anything, he walked straight to Feng Ming's seat, and finally sat down directly next to her. The moment she sat down, all the sounds suddenly stopped, and everyone stared at Bai Xi with wide eyes. I don’t know if those eyes are admiration, envy, or jealousy. In short, everyone’s expression is different.
"Are you ready to end the banquet?" Bai Xi said with a confused look, which also made some people look away. The music sounded again, but the atmosphere was different.
"Xiao Xixi is Xiao Xixi, she dares to do things that others dare not do." Ye Muli chuckled.
Bai Xi replied: "That's natural."
Ye Muli didn't say any more and continued drinking and having fun.
"You met him alone." Feng Ming's soft voice suddenly floated into Bai Xi's ears.
"Yes." Of course she knew who Feng Ming was referring to, and there was no need for her to hide it from him. Even if she didn't tell him, he would still know.
"how?"
"He already knows that I have learned about his life experience." Although it was just a simple answer, she knew clearly that the other party already knew that she had learned the secret of her own life experience, and she also knew that he knew the secret.
"That's not what I asked."
Before Bai Xi had time to reflect the meaning of his words, his chin was lifted by the white jade-like hand, and his eyes looked straight into those golden eyes.
"What do you think he looks like?" This time, Feng Ming made his original words clear.
"Huh?" Bai Xi was stunned. She didn't expect that this was what the man asked, but... could this be what he was angry about? Her red lips curled slightly, "I'm not as pretty as you."
This answer seemed to put Feng Ming in a good mood. The indifferent and aloof Feng Ming softened slightly, and even his golden eyes were tinged with a faint smile.
Bai Xi raised his hand and shook off the white jade-like hand, took the grapes on the table and stuffed them into his mouth. He glanced helplessly at the man who was secretly proud of himself. He was really jealous.
Some people were already petrified the moment Feng Ming lifted Bai Xi's chin, and how could they see the changes in his emotions, especially those ladies, who were looking at Bai Xi with eyes that were not just jealous, but... , so what, they can only be jealous.
While everyone was still petrified, Nangong Hui's voice suddenly sounded softly, "Prime Minister Feng, I wonder if you would be willing to lend Miss Bai to my son for a day?"
